I need to change the levers on my daughters bike She is 4 and has tiny hands, as a result is really struggling to get a grip on the levers.

Can anyone reconmend any good levers with really minimal reach. Brakes themselves are fine, just need the levers.

First ride without stabilisers today! No stopping her now (literally unless I can replace the levers!!)

Speak to Islabike, their levers on their bikes are great, loads of power and very little reach, they might give you some ideas?

Yeah, ring Islabikes.

The v-brakes on their bikes are almost too powerful - seen a couple of kids go over the bars due to application with tiny fingers (~5 yr olds, each on a Cnoc, grabbing a fistful), one was my daughter 🙁

i went and bought some cheap kids ones made of plastic on ebay.
they have the reach adjustment screws.
the age of your daughter she's not going to have the strongest of grips so stiffness of the lever isn't going to be an issue.
